Loss of app

[machenryr]

I have a 6+. Somehow I must have deleted a couple of apps from my phone’s desktop. I don’t know what they all are but I do know one. I went to the AppStore, found it and opened it. But it doesn’t mount on my desk or the list of icons. How do I get it back? So this means I have to go to the store every time I want to open it? Or scroll through the open apps? I hope this makes sense.

Which iOS?

You can always swipe down or swipe right from home screen to open search box at top of screen, type a couple of letters of app name in there and it’ll pop up in results below if it’s on your phone.

Thank you! Yes I can do that. Thanks for the tip BTW, but how do I get it back on the desktop?

This video might help, depending on which iOS you’re on...

Thanks. I’ll check. BTW I’m on OS 14.2 and on iPhone 6s Plus.

A similar discussion in another thread might be of some help:

Facebook Messenger, iPhone, Help Needed

So I accidentally deleted the Facebook messenger app from my iPhone. It's still in my library, but I cant get it back on my iPhone. What do I do?

Okay then that video will be less relevant.

The link above has a linked article on how to move app from library back to home screen, I'd guess that might be the issue with new functionalities in iOS 14. I know I've got a lot of catching up to do on 14.
